Famed King Singer, Simon Carrington, will be at LSC-Montgomery on February 26 to conduct a master class with the LSC-Montgomery Chamber Singers. Community members are invited to attend.

Carrington, who will be in town working with the Houston Chamber Choir, will be working on various performance and practice techniques with the LSC-Montgomery Chamber Singers as they prepare for their choir tour in March.

“Our students are very excited to be working with Mr. Carrington,” said Dr. Mark Marotto, director of choral activities at LSC-Montgomery. “I am particularly looking forward to discovering what insights he has to share about this music that is dear to him.”

Some of the pieces the choir is working on include music from the Renaissance era, as well as selections from the King Singer’s, such as “You Are The New Day”.

The LSC-Montgomery Chamber Choir is an audition only group, with all members participating on a choral scholarship.

In addition, the music department offers non-major courses such as Music Appreciation, Electronic Music, American Music, and Popular Song Writing, with selected courses available via continuing education.
